unfortunatly, there is something i don’t understand here : even if i try to reboot from a command “fastboot reboot recovery” I still land on fastboot home page ([https://xiaomitime.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Fastboot-mode-OnePlus.jpg](https://xiaomitime.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Fastboot-mode-OnePlus.jpg))

Also i can launch the flash-all script but it’s stuck at the very beginning :

.\flash-all.bat  
Erasing ‘avb\_custom\_key’ OKAY [0.009s]  
Finished. Total time: 0.015s  
Warning: skip copying avb\_custom\_key image avb footer (avb\_custom\_key partition size: 0, avb\_custom\_key image size: 1032).  
Sending ‘avb\_custom\_key’ (1 KB)

and it idles for ages and ages …

thank’s again for your help 🙂
